Edgecombe Drug CoP HIGH SCHOOL BASEBALL. That Tarboro wiii.be represented upon the diamond this season with at least one baseball team is an assured fact, os County Superin tendent R. O5. Kittrell is using his intlneuce to increase interest io the sport among the students of the High Schtiol. Prof. Kittrell wifi in all probability secure the baseball park from George Howard for this purpose, and will arrange, games with other high school teams. He has secured much of the parapher nalia. and the members of the team will have regulation uniforms. Our county supeiiatendent hasc taken a worthy step towards the advancement and encouragement of healthy 'sports among the stu dents of the public schools. The problem of athletics among the students of pnblic schools has re mained dormant too long, and^the students should be heartily ~en | cou raged by teachers and parents in the training of the physical, as well as the mental faculties.

Owing to unfavorable weather, not very many were brave enough lace the storm and attend the box party and dance given at Pittman’s Hall, Leggett, Friday night for the benefit of improving school No. 1, in township No. 5 pre s’nled over by Miss Susie Spivey. The sum realized, however, was *11 75. The boxes were indeed things of beauty without speaking of the dainty refreshments within. They sold so well, Miss Spivey hopes to Lave ai other one soon, when she hopes to be even more successful than in this one.

Editor Southerner: From your account of our organ ization meeting in Saturday’s paper, I notice that you have the same impression of The State Nor mal and Industrial College that so many people have, namely that it is the Gieensboro Normal. • One of the objects of our Nor mal Association is to try to im press upon *the people the fact that this is a State Ool'ege, sup ported by the State, and belonging to the petfple of the State, it i* as much the Tarboro Normal Col lege as it is the Greensboro ’Normal but it is neither. It ite The State Normal and Industrial College. One other thing, it is a college and not merely a school. I am glad you have given me one opportunity of correcting this im pression which is so general in an State. Emily S. Austin. President Normal Association, of Edgecombe County. March 23rd, 1903. A HOW I CURED SWEENY AND FISTULA. ‘ ‘I want to tell you how I saved one of oar horses that had a fistula. We haft the horse doctor out and he said it was so bad that he did not not thiok he could cure it, and did not come again. Then we tried Sloan’s Linimeutand it cured it up nicely. „ “One day last’ Spring I was plowing for a neighbor who had a hoise with sweeny, and I told him about 81oan’s Liniment and he had me get a bottle for him, and it cured his horse all rlgh£> and he goes off now l^be a colt. “We had a horse that had sweeny awTSlly - badland we thought it was never going to be any good, but we used Sloan’s Liniment andjit cured it up nicely. I told another neighbor about it and he said it was the best Lini ment heaver used. “We are using Sloan’s Sure folic Cjure and we think* it is all right.” _ A. D.

The final decision in reference to the transfer of the Pittman sani tariuurto the National Benevolent Association, of the “Christian church, will be made at the Nation al Committee meeting in St. Louis, March 31st The proposition of the transfer of thii hospital has been uuder consideration for sev eral months and the local trustees believe it will not be accepted. Although the acceptance ot this institution by the National Asso ciation would give the hospital a broader scope of usefulness, the monetary consideration by which the hospital should be guaranteed to.be upoura paying basis, was not satisfactory to the board of trus tees. It „will be regretted by all interested in the Pittman eanjta rium that an agreement could not be reached whereby this transfei would have been made ere this. HO! FOR HOOKERTON. J^he Hookerton Terminal Co. formally opened the new bridge across the Mocassin river at Hook erton today. The first trip across this new bridge, which connects Hookerton with Tarboro by rail, was made Saturday evening by the regular passenger train on the Bast Carolina railway, leaving here at 2.30 p. m. The event was witnessed bv a large number of residents of that section. 5 The new bridge and trestle is thirty-thice hundred feet in leugth. The trestle spans the river a height of about sixty fbet, thus allowing boats to pass- without having a draw in the bridge.

Prof. Kittiell stated that he could notask the teachers to so use their influence, that they were were free agents to do as their own judgments prompted. To send out these circulars would be cpnstrucd by some teachers as instructions from him. Such broadmindedness as this is as refreshing as a full bath in the. Pierian SpriDg.

Farther particulars from Mr. Smithson’s, whieh was visited by the storm Thursday night Jigbteu not the disaster. Some time during the ivight, probably about 1 o’clock came the wind that sent the stables to the earth, killing or injurying every horse and mule that he bad on the farm, nine. The stables was once agin house, the room above being used for storing long forage. The high peaked roof, offered a large area to the v iuds, which was strong enough to overcome the resistante of the posts that held the structure abofe. The animals, on the side in which the staTitcs fell, were crashed to death, probably dying instantly. On the other side, they wese not so completely enveloped. Four v were found living, though they died to n after being extri cated. ^ At the time of the disaster,. Mr. Smithson aud all his entire house bold were asleep and were not even awakened by the falling building, which was not over 75 yards away.. He *'elieves that could he have been at the scene promptly, those of his team found living couid have been extricated iu much better condition, as they were, no doubt, much injured by their struggles after the stables fell. His loss, exclusive of the build ing is from $1,200 to $1,500. The hay and other lODg forage in- the building, he was able to save td a great extent. Kveu for a stable the building was .worth several hundred dollars, and it will "take probably dM of $2,000 to res torn him to what he was prior to the storm. NOT A REPUBLICAN.

About a month ago General Bunn*, a colored man over 60 years of age, was married by ’Squire Pender to a young woman Trot much more than 20. Saturday, the December and May storms reached their climax and ’Squire Pender had to again officiate. Amanda, on Wednesday evening wanted him to go to church with her, but he declinedon account of weai mess. Amanda went and did not return till Saturday, when her lord informed her that he was done with her, that although all the1 household effects were his, she pould take half and’to do so and leave. Amanda’s Solomonic division of the feather bed, literally cutting it in two, caused vigorous remon strance* on th& part of General, but when he essayed to interfere she turned oo him like an infuriat ed tigress, and whipped him, bruising and cutting his face and head. ’Squire Pender taxed her UMs - ^ |m —It coaxes back that well feel ing, healthy look, puts the sap of life in your system, protects you from disease.

A tree burning with a bright blaze was the sight, which greeted many pedestrians Sunday night, in front of the court house. The cause of this scenic display was a live electric light wire coming in contact wim the bmbs of the large tree on the corner of Main and St. James streets. This is to be seen most any night when the weather is wet. Persons by placing the hand on this tree at such times will receive quite a shock. ^^ NORTH CAROL IMA PATENTS. Granted this week.
